"pnpm" issues (git pull)

bolt.diy [bolt.diy] Issues and Troubleshooting
1

I tried to clone bolt.diy from git and also pnpm from Installation | pnpm, but it’s constantly failing with ‘esbuild’: Error: Expected “0.24.2” but got “”
How can i solve this?

I fixed it myself - had a standalone NVM that i had downloaded and was causing conflict issues with node js versions and pnpm not running.

I suggest to always take the nvm-setup.exe latest version to avoid PATH errors and troubleshooting later on.

IMPORTANT: “esbuild” must be ver 0.25.9 in current git pull.
Anything else messes up the initialization.

PS C:\Users\LLM\bolt.diy> $env:ESBUILD_PLATFORM = “win32”
PS C:\Users\LLM\bolt.diy> $env:ESBUILD_CPU = “x64”
PS C:\Users\LLM\bolt.diy> Get-Content package.json | Select-String “esbuild”

  "esbuild": "0.25.9",
  "esbuild-windows-64": "0.25.9",
  "@esbuild/win32-x64": "0.25.9",

If you encounter this error, do the following:

Install the specific versions

pnpm add -D @esbuild/win32-x64@0.25.9
pnpm add -D esbuild@0.25.9

Then do the full install

pnpm install --force --no-verify-store-integrity --unsafe-perm

Note: We don’t need esbuild-windows-64 as it’s an older package format - @esbuild/win32-x64 is its modern replacement.
